Natives of the Congo Region.

Now let me tell you about the natives
of this region. Poor things They do
not seem to know much. They are strong
and muscular and carry immense loads
on their heads. They have not learned to
carry burdens in any other way. One Of
the government officials had some wheel
barrows made and sent here. He told
one of the natives to get one and bring it
to him, and the poor thing tried TO bring
it on his head. And when it was loaded
four of them picked it up and were going
to carry it
The natives do not require any tailors
or dressmakers. One of them having re-
ceived present of an old hat and UNI
brella, put on his hat and marched
around under his umbrella, feeling as big
as king. Bishop Taylor and myself
wee present at meeting of kings which
had seen called for consultation with the
bisho, }. They call such meetings "a
palayer." We wanted to establish a
mission, and the object of our meeting
was to ascertain whether or not they
would permit us to come among their
people. Our conference with them lasted
more than an hour.-Congo Missionary

The Worlds Graveyard.

Considerable disputes have been had
relative to the space required to contain
the people of the earth from Adam to the
end of 6,00O years.
The space required is comparatively in
significant when the almost Incompetent
sible number of people are taken into con-
sideration. The basis of calculation is
presumably overestimated. The present
population of the earth is reputed to be
1,400, 100000 people. We have 113
years yet to complete 5000 years, but if
we take 700, 900, 900 as an average dying
every generation, we find that in the
5000 years, allowing 33 1-3 years to a
generation, $50 generations will have
passed, or zoe, 900, 000x180-12G, 600, 0O0,-
600 (billions) of people will have existed at
the completion of 5000 years. Allowing
one square yard to each, they would &C.
cupy space of 7,448 square miles. This
is little more than one-half the size of
Missouri (63,415 miles, and seven times
less than the size of Texas (265, $50
square miles,. Allowing 3xG feet for in
terment, Texas would afford burial for
three times the number, or on the same
basis, would contain all the people of the
earth for $4,000 years. Allowing feet
to stand on, for each person, at the end
of 5000 years they would make a belt
around the earth (25, 900 miles, ATT deep,
or from the earth to the moon Goo, 900
miles, 80 deep, whilst it would take eight
times the number to extend from here to
the sun in a single line.-Kansas City
